Hiya. Yep im using a rb25 highflow from cgc...

Stage 1 450hp build... At the moment running 1 bar and full boost comes on by 3500rpm... Currently pushing out 232rwkw with usual mods, Fuel system, ECU, FMIC ect...

Does anyone know how much the turbo will flow boost wise?

LePpErFiSh.........

Hi Carl, we have 2 GCG Hi flow RB25 turbos, both Stage 1. One is on an R34GTT (RB25DET NEO) and the other on a R32 GTST (RB20DET). The R25DET has 240 rwkw at 1.1 bar and the RB20DET has 220 rwkw at 1.3 bar. The full weight R34GTT did a 12.4 for 1/4, and is used daily, in city traffic, freeways etc and has been that way, totally reliably for 20 months. The R32 is used for circuit racing and the turbo is very responsive in the RPM range we use, it isn't lag free but it's pretty close.

The RB25DET power band looks like this

7000 rpm 240 rwkw

6500 rpm 220 rwkw

6000 rpm 205 rwkw

5500 rpm 195 rwkw

5000 rpm 180 rwkw

4500 rpm 160 rwkw

Average 200 rwkw

There are plenty of 240 rwkw turbos around, but not many that average 200 rwkw from 4,500 rpm to 7,000 rpm. That's what performance is all about, a single hi maximum power at one rpm is point is next to useless. Unless you have a close ratio gearbox or an auto.

Our experience with Stage 2's is that they have to be tuned very carefully as they are very close to the compressor surge line on a 2.5 litre engine (OK on 3.1 litres though). I am personally not convinced that the few extra kw's is worth it on an RB25 and I wouldn't even think about it on a RB20.

Hope that helps

Hi Sydneykid,

What does this mean to us laymens ???

Our experience with Stage 2's is that they have to be tuned very carefully as they are very close to the compressor surge line

thanx for that sydney kidd , very useful info. my st1 pulled 204rwkws at 6300rpm at 1.2bar and that is before i change to a hi flow cat , split dump pipe, cam gears etc. at 7psi boost my peak power was 140rwkws at 6600rpm, why such a difference in peak rpm? would this be because of my restrictive dump/cat? thanx for the great advice, awesome thread!!! did the r34 use aftermarket cams to reach peak at 7000rpm?

7000rpm 253kw

6500rpm 250kw

6000rpm 245kw

5500rpm 227kw

5000rpm 220kw

4500rpm 191kw

Average= 231kw

This is my Hybrid VG30, still going strong with the ceramic wheel and T04 Vtrim comp. This turbo is not yet totally sorted as it will surge in 4th and 5th. Boost must come on after 4000rpm to eliminate surge, I am currently controlling it by dual stage boost controll which automatically switches from 11 to 14psi at 4000rpm.

How long it will last is another issue, been running with it for a few months now. Happy with the $350 outlay so far. :)

Heard alot of good things about GCG. Big outlay tho ,but, just the same as buying a brand new turbo....which is cheaper than any HKS, APEX, TRUST etc.

    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
    • Might as well pop in some cams, head gasket, head studs, and a flex sensor. Full send.
